Just want to say thanks for these packages! Makes it's much easier to get the latest (which also happen to fix a couple of bugs I had with default Ubuntu packages) drivers.

I'm using a Radeon 9550, which is RV350 based with a slower clock than other cards (I wanted something passively cooled and wasn't too fussed about 3D at the time), and thanks to VDPAU, I can now watch 720p video without too many problems!

Edit: OTOH that may be due to using mplayer instead of VLC...

Interesting, I tested mplayer also. Maybe VPDAU/XvMC is faster than Xv when using a "slow" CPU and a "fast" GPU. Anyway this is still initial r300 support so it may improve later on.
